The compositions contain a xanthine (e.g., caffeine or theophylline) and an inositol phosphoric acid, and/or alpha hydroxy acid. The ratio of the xanthine to the acid is in a specific range to maintain the xanthine in a solubilized state. A method of preventing or reducing the signs of cellulite by applying a mixture of an inositol phosphoric acid and an alpha hydroxy acid is also disclosed.
